The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Chapter 3

How Dorothy Saved the Scarecrow

• Dorothy's hungry so she and Toto grab a snack and get ready for their road trip to the Emerald City.
• She notices her shoes are looking a bit shabby, so she decides to try on the dead witch's silver shoes. They fit perfectly.
• And they're off…down the yellow brick road, of course. Dorothy's feeling strangely cheerful. As she and Toto walk, they pass a lot of nice farms.
• Along the road, all the Munchkins bow to Dorothy. Evidently they heard about her killing the witch.
• It's getting late and Dorothy's wondering about where to sleep when she comes across a house. The people there are having a party and they invite her to stay for the evening.
• Boq, the guy who's hosting, asks Dorothy about her shoes. He thinks she must be super powerful to be wearing them. Dorothy remains unconvinced.
• Dorothy goes to sleep, wakes up, and passes a pleasant morning at the house. As she and Toto prepare to take off, she asks Boq how far the Emerald City is. He has no idea.
• He mentions that Oz has sort of a weird reputation. People tend to keep their distance. Dorothy knows this isn't good news, but she has no choice but to go anyway.
• Soon after she and Toto set off, Dorothy encounters a scarecrow in a field. Correction: not a scarecrow. The Scarecrow.
• Dorothy's a little taken aback when the Scarecrow starts talking to her, but she quickly recovers. They have a nice conversation.
• Dorothy helps the Scarecrow down from the pole he's attached to. As they chat, she tells him about her plan to go see Oz.
• The Scarecrow wants to go with her. He doesn't have any brains and he thinks Oz can help.
• The party of three sets off.
